Description
The purpose of the SeBI project is to identify the key challenges that educational systems face in areas were the determination of the Best Interest of the Child is a prerequisite, and prepare methods, tools and processes to support evidence-based policy making supporting school leaders, teachers and policymakers. It is placed under the Erasmus + KA3 Social inclusion and common values: the contribution in the field of education and training. The principle according to which one should always consider the ‘Best Interests of the Child’ (BIC) is part of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and although there is not a single specific definition of ‘Best interests’, its determination usually describes the formal process designed to determine the child’s best interests for particularly important decisions affecting the child, which facilitates adequate child participation without discrimination and involves decision-makers with relevant areas of expertise, having the child’s ultimate safety and well-being at the centre of the focus.
